SECTION FOUR. Intonation Pattern XI
(LOW PRE-HEAD + ) FALLING HEAD+ HIGH FALL (+ TAIL)


Model: How are you finding your new job?



—  Liking the `work im`mensely.

The High Fall starts from a higher pitch than the preceding syllable of the Falling Head.
If the head contains only one stressed word the High Fall starts from the level of the stressed syllable.
е.g. How nice!
This intonation pattern is used:
1. In statements, conveying personal concern, sounding light, airy, warm but without the disgruntled effect of Pattern X.
е.g. Why don't they work in the evenings? — `Some of them `do, I believe.
2. In questions:
a) In special questions, sounding interested, brisk, business-like.
е.g. I've just seen that new musical. — `What is it `called?
b) In general questions, conveying mildly surprised acceptance of the listener's premises; sometimes sounding sceptical, but without the impatience of Pattern X. (The ques­tion is put forward as a subject for discussion.)
е.g. Shall we try again? — Well 'would it be any `use?
3. In imperatives, sounding lively; suggesting a course of action to the listener.
е.g. The tea's too hot. — `Put some more `milk in it.
4. In exclamations, conveying mild surprise but without the affront of Pattern X.
е.g. Look, it's snowing. — `Oh, `yes!
